Craft Show

We haven't done a craft show in many years and so we ventured out again to see how things have changed. I have to say that things have not changed that much at all. I am always amazed at how organized these things are run. It seems like so much chaos when everyone arrives. Vans, cars, trucks, trailers all trying to get to their assigned spots. But no matter where we go in Wisconsin, the craft people are always so nice. Everyone helping everyone.

We were new to this craft show and also new to our E-Z Up Tent. Our craft show neighbors were nice enough to come over and give us a hand when it was obvious the E-Z Tent was kicking our butts! Once we got everything set-up and stepped back to take a look we realized it has been quite a few years since we've done this and we didn't have nearly as much stuff in our booth that we needed! Oh well, we have to start somewhere! And a very good friend of our daughters', who is also a very talented graphic designer, worked her magic and designed some brand new business cards for us in a matter of days and had them ready for this craft show! A big thank you to K! We only sold a few things but with our photo album of our work and the business cards we had a number of interested people.

So a little description of our craft show items...you might be wondering why the old lumber instead of the beautiful kitchen cabinets. Well, that was a lesson learned years ago. Weather and nice finishes do not mix! We had a beautiful little cabinet that ended up having to be re-finished so we switched over to recycled barn lumber which doesn't care what the weather is. It's been thru it all already! The cabinet in this post is barn lumber and some old galvanized tin Randy found. He uses just about anything he can find and all of it is his own design. No two cabinets are alike because it is hard to find the same exact wood all the time. Makes for some very unique pieces, including all the animals.

Well I hope you enjoy the pictures and if you have any questions we do have an email address at the top of our blog. Please feel free to write us. As I said earlier this blog is a work in progress and my daughter is helping me get a gallery set-up so everyone can go look at our cabinets. So thanks much for being so patient. Until next time, have a great day!
